SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 444,769, dated January13, 1891.

Application filed August 4, 1890. Serial No. 360,963. (No model.)

To @ZZ whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, ALBERT A. SHERMAN, a citizen of the United States,residing at Plymouth, in the county of Plymouth and State ofMassachusetts, have invented a new and useful Umbrella-Bracket, of whichthe following is a specification.

This invention has relation to umbrellabrackets for use in halls andother places; and the objects in View are to provide a cheap, simple,and ornamentally-const-ructed holder adapted to be applied to the walland to support in a vertical position a number of umbrellas or canes,and to catch and retain any moisture or drippings from the umbrellas orcanes.

Other objects and advantages of the invention, together with the novelfeatures thereof, will hereinafter appear, and be particularly pointedout in the claims.

Referring to the drawings, Figure 1 is an elevation of an umbrella-standconstructed in accordance with my invention. Eig. 2 is a detail inperspective of one of the brackets for supporting the holders. Fig. 3 isa plan of one of the umbrella-receiving and dishsupporting brackets.Fig. 4 is a sectional view on the line fc fr, Fig. 1.

Like numerals of reference indicate like parts in all of the figures.

1 designates a back board of suitable dimensions, to the face of which,near its upper and lower ends, are secured by screws 2 a casting 3. TheVcastings 3 maybe of any fanciful design, and are provided with sockets4,

and above the same with outwardly-projectg ing perforated lugs 5.

b designates the umbrella-supporting casting or holder also formed ofany fanciful design, and comprising` opposite large circular openings 7and in this instance two smaller intermediate openings 8, also ofcircular shape. The rear edge of the casting is provided with arectangular tenon 9, which takes into the socket 4 of the upper casting3 and in front of the same with a perforation 10, which registers withthe perforation in the ear or lug 5, and through said perforations ispassed a screw 11, thereby connecting the casting 6 to thecasting-bracket 3 and supporting the casting 6 in a horizontal positionand at a right angle to the back 1.

12 designates the dish-supporting casting, which is a counterpart of thecasting 6, the same having the openings 7 and S, the tenon 9, andperforation 10. This casting 12 is, by a screw 13, secured to the lowercastingbracket-S, and the openings 7 and 8 align with those of thecasting 6.

1i designates dishes or bowls of metal or earthenware and preferably ofthe latter, which fit and are removably seated in the openings 7 and 8of the lower casting 12. This completes the construction of the stand,which may be supported `upon a wall or other suitable fixed object, andthrough the openings 7 and Sof the upper casting G may be insertedumbrellas and canes in inverted positions, the lower ends of the sameresting in the bowls, which are designed to catch any drippingstherefrom. If desired, the back board 1 may be formed of metal, in whichcase the sockets 4 and lugs 5 will be formed therein and thereupon.

Having described my invention, what I claim is 1. In an umbrella-stand,the combination, with a back board or base adapted to be secured to awall or other support and provided with angular sockets and above thesame with perforated lugs, of upper and lower castings having tenons forentering the sockets, bolts passing through the lugs of the base andthrough the castings in front of the tenons, each of said castingshaving corresponding openings and dishes 'or bowls 141-, fitting andremovably mounted in the openings of the lower casting, substantially asspecified.

2. In an umbrella-stand, the combination, with a back board or base andupper and lower cast metal brackets secured thereto and provided withsockets and above the same with perforated ears or lugs, of upper andlower castings 6 and 12, having tenons 9 and perforated, as at 10, thetenons entering the sockets and the perforations registering with thosein the lugs, screws or bolts passing through the perfor-ations, saidcastings 6 and 12 having opposite large openings 7 and intermediatesmall openings S, and correspondingly-sized bowls 14, removably seatedand fitting the large and small openings of the lower casting,substantially as specified.
